Ben Askren defends the Welterweight title!
A lot of hype here lead me to believe Stout had a chance. I was wrong. Askren dominated this one bell to bell. Stout did some stuff, but not enough to knock Askren out of the green on the health-o-meter. Or, "healthometer", as it likes to be called.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
